Abreo

We recently ran a giveaway competition over on our Facebook page which you can find here.

We gave away a set of our very chic Scandinavian style nest tables to any of our fans who liked or shared our Facebook competition post and we had a fantastic response from everyone involved.

We are delighted to announce that Hazel Cockill was selected at random as our competition winner.

We had such a fantastic response from Hazel when we contacted her to announce she had won, it made the competition even more of a success for us and we couldn't wait to send the set of nest tables to Hazel so she could add them to her home.

Hazel told us she has “2 special needs children which she educates from home and I don't get out much” so she was delighted to receive a little treat, which we think is very much well earned!. We are delighted to show you a picture courtesy of Hazel herself of the actual nest tables in her home and we think they look rather chic and are a great addition to her home.

Congratulations again to Hazel from everyone in the Abreo Home Furniture team and we hope you and your family enjoy many years use from your Abreo nest table set.

Here at Abreo Home Furniture we spend a good part of our time exploring new furniture trends and styles to ensure we provide you our lovely customer with the most relevant and up to date models of furniture. So often we get to witness the rise and demise of many types of furniture, this can be simple things such as colour or the material that the furniture is made from or the more complex trends such as the style and size of the furniture and it can even be that whole types of furniture are just no longer popular in today’s modern age. Who remembers when people used to buy telephone seats for their hall?

One trend that we have noticed here at Abreo Home Furniture is the rise of the coffee table once again.

The coffee table was a victim of the mid 2000’s de-cluttering craze were anything that could be done away with in your home ended up at the local recycling location (known as the tip in those days). Since then we have seen a steady increase year on year for sales of coffee tables.

There is lots of speculation about the reason for this rise in popularity for the humble coffee table, ranging from the UK’s increasing love of coffee, the increase in size and popularity of smartphones meaning owners don’t want to keep them out of sight in their pocket when watching Netflix. After all who wouldn’t want a stylish coffee table to rest their stylish smartphone on?.

We have also seen a change in the design of coffee tables, tables now feature slick lines and maintenance free finishes to allow easy cleaning of any drink spillages. Some coffee tables now feature storage to stop the coffee table being a source of clutter in the home and allow you to keep certain essentials such as remote controls or coasters out of sight when not in use.

Noticing this increasing popularity for coffee tables we here at Abreo home furniture have created a coffee table collection, with something for every taste. We have varying shapes and sizes and some with that extra needed storage.

Circular Scandinavian style coffee table.

This circular style table is very on trend and lends itself well to a modern home and features solid wooden legs.

Abreo Home Furniture Guide to Home Office Computer Desks

We are fast approaching the start of the School and University year and here at Abreo Home furniture we thought we would help walk you through our guide to choosing your perfect home office computer desk.

In the following post we are going to discuss all the considerations you need to think about before you choose your perfect computer desk design. We hope you find this blog useful and helps you choose the right computer desk for you. We will even help point you in the right direction to other useful links to help you choose the best home computer desk just for you.

Computer Desk Considerations

There are several considerations you need to look at before deciding where to place your computer desk and which desk design you need, in this section we will discuss some of those issues to ensure you are in the know when it comes to buying your perfect computer desk.

Space - Firstly and most importantly when you consider exactly where you want your desk to go in your home, maybe it is an office you are setting up or even under the stairs or an alcove somewhere out of the way. The major factor in this decision is the amount of space you have available in your home and the shape of the area you are planning to have your computer desk.

Lighting - Another important factor to consider is lighting, ideally you will want to place your desk in an area that receives natural light, this can be from a window or skylight. Lighting levels are very important to allow you to work in comfort at your desk without straining your eyes. You may consider the use of artificial lighting, such as a desk lamp. If you are considering using a desk lamp you will need to ensure your computer desk has enough room to fit your computer or laptop and a desk lamp comfortably at the same time.

Power - Electrical points are very important when considering where to place your computer desk, its not just your computer or laptop that requires power, you will find the more you use your computer desk the more electrical gadgets you will need. These can range from extra monitors, Wi-Fi routers, printers, USB hubs a desk lamp or even a fan or heater during seasonal changes. You may consider using electrical extension leads but please be aware that these can become tripping hazards and ideally their use is best avoided.

Temperature - Heating is extremely important factor to consider before deciding where to place your desk, you will be using your chosen computer desk throughout the seasons and the temperature will fluctuate. Ideally your desk will be away from drafts and not directly next to radiators, which can become overbearing after a long period of time. If you can not find an area with a constant temperature, you can always invest in a small heater or fan, again this will increase your need for electrical points near your desk.

Wi-Fi - Most laptops and computers these days use Wi-Fi to connect to the internet, it always a good idea to take your laptop or computer to the area you are considering to place your computer desk and try and connect it via Wi-Fi to your router. This will ensure you are able to work online from your brand new desk. If you are having signal issues it is possible to rectify them with the use of Wi-Fi extenders or boosters.

Noise – An often overlooked consideration when considering where to place your computer desk is noise. Its so important to ensure your work-space is located in an area which is quiet enough to allow uninterrupted work during the hours you are planning to use it. There would be nothing worse than setting up your computer desk and then being able to use it as often as you would like. Often the best place is upstairs in properties and often towards the back of your property away from main roads and living rooms downstairs. Safe Noise levels and noise reduction advice can be found here.

Type of Computer – The size of your computer or laptop is a major consideration when considering which computer desk to purchase, it is always a good idea to measure your laptop, tablet or pc to ensure it will fit on your chose computer desk design. If you have a popular model of laptop or computer such as Apple, you can always visit their website and find the dimensions listed for your model.

Storage – Depending how much storage you need from your desk will have a big effect on the design you choose. Different designs of desk have several different storage options and can offer benefits over other designs. It may be that you prefer a minimalist style and plan to store your files and papers away from your desk, to ensure you can work in an uncluttered environment.

We hope you have found our guide to choosing the perfect computer desk useful and if there are other considerations you think we may have missed out, or which you find important to you please let us know in the comment section below.

You may be thinking to yourself whilst browsing the www.abreo.co.uk website, that the price of our furniture seems far too cheap for the quality of the furniture you get in return for your hard earned pound. So you are now thinking what is the catch, it seems too good to be true? Let me tell you, there is no catch and I will explain why.

Abreo home furniture originally started off life as a wholesale supplier of home interior furniture and rattan garden furniture to large high street furniture retailers. We would source furniture from the far east whilst working directly with our manufacturers to create furniture which we knew would be popular back here in the UK. We would import our furniture after ensuring that the quality of the items was excellent and had passed our strict quality controls. To get this process right takes time and experience and we developed these skills over a number of years to ensure that any items of furniture delivered to our high street partners was of an exceptional quality and on trend with the Great British public's latest tastes.

Our then customers the high street shops would purchase that furniture directly from us, place the products in their showroom and add lots of money to the price of each item to pay for fancy marketing and TV adverts. At this point we had no contact from our true customers you the person in the street, which would have enabled us to make our furniture quality even better and listen to any feedback you had, it also meant that you paid a lot more money for Abreo home furniture than you actually needed to.

With the huge increase in e-commerce shopping and with more customers being able to find us online and asking to purchase our home furniture direct. We decided things needed to change and we needed to listen to our true customers. We decided to launch our own home furniture website online that specialises in supplying home furniture directly to the public. Only now we sell our products at wholesale prices directly to the public cutting out the huge retailer profit that you would have had to pay if you hadn’t come directly to us.

Now you notice we don’t have TV adverts or fancy brochures but what we do have is years of experience ensuring our home furniture is made just right you , whilst working with our manufacturers to ensure you receive fantastic quality furniture at unbelievably cheap prices. We are in the perfect position to offer you fantastic customer service, our staff deals with and users Abreo furniture on a daily basis and knows each furniture piece inside out.
